Theos-Talk Archives (October 2006 Message tt00220)

Thanks, Daniel, for these words. We can all benefit by remembering 
them and putting them into practice in our daily lives. Theosophy is 
a way of life, and it has an important role to play in the 
evolutionary opportunities of humanity in this cycle. We can discuss 
personal points of view as much as we want, but, in the meantime, 
time is marching on and there is plenty of evidence available that 
there is much to be gained by applying what we have been privileged 
to learn to our daily lives. We can change the world if we will only 
sincerely try.

ponder these words from a Master:
> 
> ". . . no Theosophist should blame a brother whether within or
> outside of the association, throw slur upon his actions or denounce
> him . . . lest he should himself lose the right of being considered
> a theosophist. Ever turn away your gaze from the imperfections of
> your neighbour and centre rather your attention upon your own
> shortcomings in order to correct them and become wiser . . . ." 
> ". . . . . Do not indulge in unbrotherly comparisons between
> the task accomplished by yourself and the work left undone by your
> neighbour or brother, in the field of Theosophy, as none is held to
> weed out a larger plot of ground than his strength and capacity will
> permit him . . . Do not be too severe on the merits or demerits of
> one who seeks admission among your ranks, as the truth about the
> actual state of the inner man can only be known to, and dealt with
> justly by KARMA alone. Even the simple presence amidst you of a well-
> intentioned and sympathising individual may help you
> magnetically . . ."
